Hello all I've just install LVM2 on a SLES 9 box, that all went fine. I have --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/vg01/lvol1 VG Name vg01 LV UUID 4CyIWf-D3iO-mFZG-XiT1-xSXz-j7K2-WSZbEp LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 2 LV Size 10.90 TB Current LE 2857374 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:1 I have it mounted as /users and am exporting it. On another SLES9 machine I am mounting it. This all works fine. However when I try to create multiple files on it I get messages like /users1 # cp -r /usr/local/ . cp: writing `./local/bin/hssdb': No space left on device cp: closing `./local/bin/hssdb': No space left on device cp: closing `./local/lib64/libufp.a': No space left on device There is scads of space /users1 # df . Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on s712-5:/users1 11703708896 36960 11703671936 1% /users1 And this only happens on the nodes that NFS mount the file system. On the local node everything works fine. any help would be appreciated thanks gord u
